Anepischetosia maccoyi — a small lizard with weakly developed limbs. It inhabits southeastern Australia and spends a lot of time underground or under shelters.
Anepischetosia maccoyi differs from other lizards by its very short legs and hidden underground lifestyle. It helps maintain the balance in the soil by eating harmful insects.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
